A Miyata 1000 with Nitto Moustache bars?! That’s like Michael Jackson doing a James Brown cover. It’s legendary upon legendary. If you don’t know what I’m talking about check out my XO-1.

This bike was very thoughtfully built by its previous owner. Plenty of gears, FAT tires, bulletproof components, a very comfortable cockpit, light but full coverage fenders, and racks on racks on racks.

Miyata’s amazing steel tube production brought to the masses.

I love the way the moustache bar feels and rides but there’s always the issue with how the stem looks. A true moustache bar setup almost always requires a lot of stack on the stem or a good amount of rise on the angle. This in turn looks rater un-racy in my mind. I have yet to see a very good way around this besides having a very long head tube.
